OTHERS IMAGE?

Anyakara - what others hold you as—others’ image The third identity you carry is the image that others have about you, how others expect you to be, called anyakāra or Others’ Image. How others perceive you may be different from how you project yourself to them, because people create their opinion about you from the subtle signals you give them, rather than what you openly project. Humans are intelligent enough to catch even what you don’t say or especially what you don’t say!

WHAT IS

SVANYAKARA - LIFE IMAGE?

Svanyakara - what you think about
others and life—life image
And the fourth identity is very
subtle, because it is not directly
related to you. It is how you
experience life to be for you and
what you expect others to be,
called svānyakāra or Life Image.
For example, you may feel—life is
lonely, life is complicated or life is
sacred or life is scary, or life and
people are always showering me
with everything! Please understand,
this is also your identity, because it
defines the exact experience you
will be receiving from the people
and situations from life

#2 Authenticate Others To Become A Leader

Someone inauthentic is shouting at you even though you have done everything properly, you start feeling powerless. So the first thing you do is to do instant completion with any person or any situation even when you are right and others say you are wrong. Next what you do is to declare in front of the group to take the responsibility for the other person's inauthenticity and be a cause for it and start taking responsibility for it. This will make you a REAL LEADER

you when you are in authenticity.
